I'll mention Young Fathers: Cocoa Sugar. First heard these guys a couple years back on a collaboration with Massive Attack for a song on their Ritual Spirit EP. Loving this one and need to go back and check out what else they've done.

Hurry - Every Little Thought : RIYL later era/smooth Teenage Fanclub power pop.Django Django - Marble Skies : I don't really know what genre to call this, other than to say if High Fidelity came out this year instead of like 20 years ago they'd be mentioned instead of Beta Band.Sea Lilies - Soonest : Baltimore punk made from people who were in Dead Mechanical and Sick Sick Birds, so of course I love this.

This is probably my favorite of the year. Definitely listen to their albums from 2015 and 2014.
